A fun column by Dave Bidini as we head into the May Long Weekend aka “The Official Start of Summer in Canada” (at least in theory, if not practice.)

A Partial and Incomplete List of Reasons the NDP Lost The BC Election #skpoli #bcpoli #ndp

I went to a noon hour presentation at the Johnson-Shoyama School of Public Policy on “The BC Election and What It Means For Saskatchewan“. One presenter got a good laugh off the bat joking about how he had to tear up his speaking notes in light of the stunning come-from-behind victory of the Liberals […]

Music Monday – “Oh Mr. Mom/Balancing check books, juggling bills/Thought there was nothing to it/Baby, now I know how you feel/Oh Honey, you’re my hero”

iPotty

This is brilliant…although if Sasha’s anything like her big brother, she’d find a way to pee on the iPad instead of the pot. (A co-worker still brings up the story we told him when Pace was a toddler of Pace standing in our living room and peeing on our VCR!) (via /r/Daddit)

Saturday Snap – “May the Fourth Be With You” Nerd Family Edition

A few different shots in honour of perhaps the nerdiest day of the year: I’m not a programmer but via a handy online interface, was able to create my own watchface for my “21st Century Calculator Watch“. There’s also a web site with lots of other cool watchfaces others with greater skills than my own […]

I’m a Dad – Random Thoughts About Sasha’s First Day (On Her One Week Birthday)

So as much as I’d like to just keep posting pictures of Sasha, eventually I’ve got to get back to blog posts that have “letters” and “words” rather than cute pictures. A good place to start would be with a look back at that first day, inspired partly by many of the notes I scribbled […]
